Mind-Body Connection:​​
  • Can represent an imbalance between rational and intuitive thought, your creativity and intuitive energy has been lost or ignored. You feel powerless. Try something new or out of character, take a break, try a new hobby. 
  • Can also represent spiritual isolation - a sense of meaninglessness tied to spiritual emptiness.  Try to start a meditation/prayer practice daily.
  • Can also represent acting outwardly in ways that are different from how you really feel internally.  If you are feeling deep guilt or self-loathing, your body can turn on itself.  Work on improving unconditional self-love.
